In a viral video titled "Raygun the Breakdancer Meets Napoleon Dynamite," a breakdancing university professor puts on an unforgettable performance that has the internet in stitches. Set to the backdrop of a lively song with lyrics like "Now dance, nothing left for me to do but dance," Raygun showcases her unique blend of breakdancing moves and comedic flair.

The video has sparked a range of reactions, with one viewer humorously comparing her dance moves to "your kid in the cereal aisle when you say no." Another comment celebrated her achievement, saying, "She did it! She broke dancing!" Her comedic talent did not go unnoticed, with one user noting, "This woman is crazy."

Raygun, whose day job involves teaching and researching breakdancing, hip hop, and gender issues in dance, dances exactly as one might expect a 36-year-old university professor to dance. This has led some to draw comparisons to the tweet that suggested having a normal person compete in the Olympics to highlight the athletes' skill levels. As one commenter put it, "Mission accomplished!"

The video has also inspired some creative comparisons. One viewer likened her performance to "Homer Simpson running in circles on the ground," while another thought of a scene from "Napoleon Vegemite." There was even mention of an Olympic-like scenario where the Australian Olympic Committee decided to send her based on her impressive resume, jokingly suggesting, "She’s probably overqualified!"

Despite some critical comments about her breakdancing skills not being world-class, Raygun's performance has undeniably captured the public's imagination. Whether seen as a humorous endeavor or a genuine attempt at breakdancing, her routine has left a lasting impression. Some have even likened her to "Eddie the Eagle," a British ski jumper known for his enthusiastic yet unpolished performances.

The video also includes reactions like, "What in the exorcism is happening here," and remarks on her kangaroo-inspired moves in another breakdancing video. Regardless of the varied opinions, Raygun's breakdancing stint has earned her admiration for her courage and creativity. One comment summed it up perfectly: "She got a free 2-week all-expense-paid vacation in Paris during the Olympics. She’s smarter than all of us combined."

So, if one is looking for a good laugh or a unique take on breakdancing, "Raygun the Breakdancer Meets Napoleon Dynamite" is a must-watch video. It’s a delightful reminder of the joy and humor that can be found in unexpected places.

Australian Olympic Committee: “We don’t have the time to gather the best dancers, let’s look at their resumes.” “Hey, this one is a college professor with an emphasis on breakdancing! Let’s send her, she’s probably overqualified!”
